Better question actually: WHY spend that much on a watch?
watch = male jewelry. it's one of the only acceptable forms of male jewelry (the other being cuff links)
watch = says as much about you as your tie
My watch is a cheap $25 Timex Expedition, and I wear no tie. But that's by choice, for the following reasons:
1) I and my co-workers are allowed to wear shorts and T-shirts to the office, and I make a great salary doing something I enjoy doing.
2) I'm highly skilled, so I can be successful without having to look like a corporate clone to try to impress my bosses.
3) I'm married, so I don't need to impress other women. I like how I look, and my wife likes how I look, and that's all that matters to me.
4) I'd rather take all that money I could be spending on watches and ties and "fashion" crap and spend it on what matters: my wife and kids. :heart:
For the record, I'm wearing a free company polo shirt, a pair of cargo shorts, and boxer briefs. Total cost, brand new: about $20. I'm 'bout to jump in my '99 Altima with 3 hubcaps, as I leave my stay-at-home wife and 2 kids in our 3300 sq. ft. house in a great school district. Those 3 people are the only ones I care to impress with "stuff".
